Milk Jug Art

iPlay Patio Lanterns

Now you can turn your milk jugs into art! I Play evokes the artist in us all with this eco-friendly make-your-own lamp kit. For $20 it comes with all the craft supplies you need for your creations, all you have to do is start saving your cartons.

Milk jugs are one of those things that leave so much room for creativity. While most people throw them in the recycling, the creative types among us see more potential. A redneck family in Calgary popped them over their Christmas lights during the holidays. My family tied ours to the end of our cat's harness to keep her from leaping over the fence. Next time a 2L gets polished off, think twice before tossing -- you never know when your creativity could get sparked! And if you really can't find an alternate use, please recycle.
